STUDY MORE, SAY LESS

Charles Spurgeon said this: "If you ask me how to shorten your sermons, I should say, study them better. Spend more time in the study that you may need less in the pulpit. We are generally longest when we have least to say."

We have already seen what George Whitefield said, "To preach for more than half an hour either the preacher should be an angel, or he/should be preaching to an audience of angels"
